He is doing so so good. HE OPENED HIS EYES!!! The swelling is going down and he is getting more active like moving his hands around and reaching for things. His eyes opened at 5:30am this morning we both were there when he opened them. He opened his eyes and we could see him just slowly look around it was the best feeling. He keeps staring at the balloons we tied on his bed. He is the best baby so peaceful and relaxed. Sorry for not posting yesterday it was a busy day. Thank you for all that came to visit us it means so much to us. On Tuesday we had Uncle Eulie Brookins who is my uncle and he also married us and was my youth pastor growing up. He drove from Ocala to see us and pray over MJ thank you. Also on Tuesday we had Jimmy Benner who worked with Nick at ups and he was in our wedding. Thank you Jimmy for coming and just sitting and talking with us durring the surgery it means a lot. On Wednesday we had Rodney and Michelle Gage from Rethink life church they are good friends and neighbors. Thank you both for coming over and talking to us and praying over MJ it really does mean a lot that you were here. On Thursday Great Grandma and Grandpa Merritt came to see us and MJ it was nice to see them and get to talk and hangout for a bit thank you so much for coming over. Also on Thursday Jody and Regis Andrews came to visit. They said that when they didn't see me post on the blog yesterday they knew they needed to come and see us and pray over MJ. Thank you for that you two are so great.
MJ is improving so much the dr said that we could be moved out of ICU today. Please pray that the swelling continues to go down and that he will be able to keep food/formula down. MJ is getting sick randomly we are thinking it's from the pain meds. Today he just now kept down 4 oz of formula so we are praying it stays like this.
Thank you for all the goodies that were sent for MJ. We are so grateful for all the prayers for our lil guy.
